Fire burns wood.
You burn the words you say.
Promises broken,
and hearts are torn.
I guess I was wrong
about you.
The things you did,
the things you said,
are gone, they won't come back.
Water takes out the fire,
at least thats what they say.
I tried to not get my hopes up,
but you make it seem like it will happen!
Too bad,
looks like I fooled myself.
It usually haunts the good,
and leaves the wrong.
Fire burns wood,
its true!
But I'm not listeniing to
what you have to say.
I will not
ever again,
not once,
believe in you.

This poem was written about my father because he says one thing and doesn't do it! I usually am disappointed, it hurts but I get over it EVENTUALLY like evrything else - it takes time -
